Whoever said there's dignity in defeat has never played Madame Cyclone's brutal side-scrolling shooter, Omut. While there's maybe some dignity in racking up five or six deaths to a punishing boss, perishing 300 times in 45 minutes to Omut's first big bad stripped me of every ounce of self-respect I had. And yet, I kept coming back for more, every time edging slightly closer to victory and falling short before resurrecting immediately for just "one more try." While this is partly down to pride, it's also because Omut's surreal, pixelated world is so downright bizarre and intoxicating that I need to see more. The fact that you have to seriously work for it makes it all the more tantalizing.
